2. General Safety Instructions
WARNING! Read all safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data
provided with this power tool. Failure to observe the following instructions
may cause electric shock, re and/or severe injuries. Keep all safety information
and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” used in this safety
information refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cable) and to
battery-powered power tools (without power cable).
1. Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorder or unlit workplaces may result in
accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in potentially explosive environments
where there are ammable uids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks
that can ignite the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool. If
distracted, you may lose control of the power tool.

11
W 575 Flexio AUS
2. Electrical Safety
a) The connection plug of the power tool must t in the socket. The plug may not
be modied in any form.Verwenden Sie keine Adapterstecker gemeinsam mit
schutzgeerdeten Elektrowerkzeugen. Unmodied plugs and suitable sockets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements,
stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water penetrating into a power tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the power cord to carry the power tool, hang up the power tool
or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power cords increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e) If you are working with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cords that
are suitable for the outdoor area. Using an extension cord that is suitable for the
outdoor area reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f)
If the power tool must be used in a moist environment, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter. Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker avoids the risk
of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a
power tool. Do not use the power tool if you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the power
tool may cause serious injuries.
b)
Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c)
Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the power tool is switched o
before you connect it to the power tool and/or battery, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents may happen if you have your nger on the switch while carrying the power
tool or if the device is switched on when you connect it to the power supply.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool
or key in a rotating part of the power tool can cause injuries.

12
W 575 Flexio
AUS
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your
balance at all times. This allows you can better control the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g)
Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and do not think yourself above
the safety rules for electric tools, even if you are familiar with the electric tool
following extensive practical experience. Careless use can lead to serious injuries
in fractions of a second.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the power tool designed for the work that
you are doing. You work better and safer in the specied performance range if you use
the suitable power tool.
b)
Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or o is dangerous and has to be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or take out a removable battery before
you make device adjustments, change accessories or put the power tool away.
This precautionary measure prevents the power tool from starting unintentionally.
d) Store unused power tools so that they are inaccessible to children. Do not let
persons use the tool who are not familiar with it or who have not read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced persons.
e) Maintain the power tool and insertion tools with care. Check whether moving
device parts are working awlessly and are not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged so that as to impair the function of the power tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents have their
origin in power tools that have been maintained badly.
f)
Use the power tool, accessories, insert tools, etc. in accordance with these
instructions and in a fashion specied for this special tool type.Take the working
conditions and the activity to be carried out into consideration. The use of power
tools for purposes other than the intended ones can lead to dangerous situations.
g)
Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grip surfaces hamper safe operation and control of the electric tool in
unforeseen situations.

W 575 Flexio AUS
5. Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by a qualied specialist and only use
original spare parts. This ensures that the tool safety is maintained.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s
service agent or a similarly qualied person in order to avoid a safety hazard.
3. Safety Instructions for Spray Guns
•
Caution! Wear breathing equipment: Paint mist and solvent vapors are damaging to
health. Always wear breathing equipment and only work in well ventilated rooms or
using supplementary ventilating equipment. It is advisable to wear working clothing,
safety glasses, ear protection and gloves.
CAUTION: DANGER OF INJURY!
Never point the spray stream towards human beings or animals.
Sockets and plugs must be masked. Risk of an electric shock as a
consequence of sprayed material entering the socket!
Attention! Never operate the device if the nozzle seal is either
damaged or missing. If the nozzle seal is either missing or damaged
liquids can enter the device and increase the risk of an electric shock.
Check the nozzle seal before each use and tighten the union nut.
•
Do not use the spray guns to spray ammable substances.
•
The spray guns are not to be cleaned with ammable solvents.
•
Caution against dangers that can arise from the sprayed substance and observe the
text and information on the containers or the specications given by the substance
manufacturer.
•
Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
•
The device may not be used in workplaces covered by the explosion-protection
regulations.
•
To avoid the hazard of explosion when spraying, provide for eective natural or
articial ventilation.
•
There must be no sources of ignition such as, for example, open res, smoke of lit
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc. in the
vicinity during spraying.
•
When working with the W 575 indoors as well as outdoors ensure that no solvent
vapors are sucked in by the spray gun.
•
The spray gun is not a toy; children must therefore not be allowed to handle it or play
with it.
•
Before working on the spray gun remove the power plug from the socket.
•
Cover areas that are not to be sprayed. When working keep in mind that wind, for
example, may transport paint mist over great distances and cause damage.

14
W 575 Flexio

5. Field of application
Many dierent coating substances can be processed with the W 575.
A dierent spray attachment must be used, depending on the coating substance:
Coating Materials Spray attachment
Interior and exterior water based acrylic
wall, ceiling and fence paints, primers
and undercoats.
Wall Extra I-Spray
6. Coating Materials Suitable for Use
Interior and exterior water based acrylic wall, ceiling and fence paints, primers and
undercoats.
The following materials can only be processed with optional accessories:
Water and oil based stains, lacquers, clear nishes and wood preservatives.

15
W 575 Flexio AUS
7. Coating Materials Not Suitable for Use
Materials that contain highly abrasive components, plaster, facade paint, caustic solutions
and acidic coating substances. Flammable materials.
8. Preparation of the workplace (for interior wall paint)
Sockets and plugs must be masked. Risk of an electric shock as a
consequence of sprayed material entering the socket!
Mask all the areas and objects that are not to be spray painted, or
remove them from the work area. No liability is assumed for damage
due to overspray. Silicate paint corrodes glass and ceramic surfaces
upon contact! All such surfaces must therefore be completely covered.
iPay attention to the quality of the adhesive tape used.
Do not use excessively strong adhesive tape on wallpaper and painted
surfaces, in order to avoid damaging these surfaces when removing the
tape. Remove adhesive tape slowly and evenly; do not use jerky movements.
Do not leave adhesive tape on surfaces any longer than necessary, in order
to minimise the possibility of residues when removing.
Also observe the adhesive tape manufacturer's instructions.
9. Preparation of the Coating Material
•
Mix the material well in the original container. When using interior wall paint, an
agitator is recommended.
i
W 575 has been developed for use with all conventional paints in their undiluted
form. If the surface is smooth and the paint you are using is very thick and
gel-like, dilute it by 10%. Dilution can be necessary if the atomisation is
coarse or if the ow rate is too low even at the maximum setting.
Detailed information about the various materials and the maximum permitted
dilution can be found on the manufacturers' technical data sheets (e.g. available
on the Internet).
iSpray material that is at least at room temperature provides a better spray
result.

10. Start-up
Before connecting to the mains supply, be sure that the supply voltage is identical with
the value given on the rating plate.
•
Unscrew the container from the spray gun.
•
Aligning suction tube. (Fig. 2)
If the suction tube is positioned correctly, the container contents can be sprayed without
almost any residue.
When working on lying objects: Turn the suction tube forwards. (Fig. 2 A)
Spraying work when working on overhead objects: Turn the suction tube rearwards.
(Fig. 2 B)
•
Place the container on a paper base and pour in the prepared coating substance with the
aid of the feed hopper included in the scope of supply (Fig. 1, 17). Screw the container
tightly onto the spray gun.
•
Connect the front part with the rear part of the gun (Fig. 3).
•
Switch the unit on (Pos. I) using the ON/OFF switch (g. 4, 1).
•
Adjust the spray setting on the spray gun.
iThe enclosed practice poster is ideal for familiarising yourself with
operation of the spray gun. After trying out the sprayer using the poster,
it makes sense to test it further on cardboard or a similar surface in order
to nd out the right ow rate of paint and air for the best spray pattern.
Detailed information about these settings can be found in chapter 11-15.
11. Selecting the Spray Setting
WARNING! Danger of injury! Never pull the trigger guard while adjusting
the air cap.
2 dierent spray jet shapes can be set by turning the air cap (g. 5, 1)
Tighten the union nut (Fig. 5, 2) fully so that no paint is able to penetrate
the device. Check regularly whether the union nut has worked loose during
operation.
Fig. 6 A = vertical at jet for horizontal surfaces
Fig. 6 B = horizontal at jet for vertical surfaces
Use the red adjustment lever to also switch between a wide
( ) and a narrow ( ) spray jet.

17
W 575 Flexio AUS
12. Adjusting the Material Volume
The volume of material can be set by turning the material volume control (Fig. 7, 1) in
steps from 1 (minimum) to 12 (maximum).
13. Setting the Amount of Air (Fig. 8)
i
Depending on the viscosity of the material to be sprayed and the nish of
the object to be coated, it may be advisable to vary the amount of air. Very
low viscosity materials, such as watery glazes do not have to be atomised
with the maximum amount of air. In this case it is advisable to reduce
the amount of air and thus minimize the spray vapour.
This also applies for the use of the Detail and Corner&Reach spray attachment
(accessory).
Slide the air volume regulator (g. 8, 1) into the desired position:
thin paint Level I
thick paint (e.g. interior wall paint) Level II
14. Spray Technique
i
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the
surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and
kept free of dust.
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
iImportant: Start at the edge of the area to be sprayed. Start the spray
movement rst of all, and then press the trigger. Avoid interruptions
within the area to be sprayed.
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist.This ensures that
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during
the spray operation. Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired spray jet
width. When you are using interior wall paint, the distance should be about 20-30 cm
(approx. one stirring rod in length).
Fig. 9 A/ 9 B: CORRECT Even distance to the object.
Fig. 9 C: INCORRECT An uneven distance will result in uneven paint
application.
•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray
pattern setting.
•
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.

18
W 575 Flexio
AUS
i
Important:Wipe o the nozzle and air cap regularly to
make sure they do not get blocked. If taking a break
during spraying, paint will dry over the nozzle. Simply
scrape o any dry paint before commencing again.
i"Cross spray" when using paint with a poor covering capacity or if the
surface is highly absorbent (Fig. 10).
•
Interior wall paint in strong colour shades should be applied at least twice (allow rst
paint coat to dry rst). This will ensure good coverage.
15. Interruption of Work
•
Turn the machine o.
•
Put the machine down only on a level, clean surface. Otherwise the machine could tip
over!
•
During longer breaks, vent the container by briey opening and then closing it again.
•
Clean nozzle openings after an interruption in operation.
•
When processing 2-component varnishes, clean the device immediately.
16. Taking Out of Operation and Cleaning
